And children in Southampton

“Absolutely NAILED IT ... Was so worried about the horror stories of companies not showing, I was in full blown PANIC MODE Booking, but the lady I spoke to on the phone was VERY helpful and re-assuring. The owner and his assistant delivered and were waiting for me at the venue, they had already brought the stuff in before I even got the cake in, within minutes it was up, weighted down and safe with ample mats so the children were safe- as well as very excited, the owner (Adam) then demonstrated safety aspects and pointed out some things that I didnt feel obvious but needed to know. Very thankful for this company, their patience and professionalism. Highly Recommended - will use again!!”

“I had the keratin straightening treatment done and it's absolutely amazing. My hair is curly, frizzy and very thick. This treatment is incredible. Shauna is amazing and I would highly recommend this treatment to anyone who doesn't want the effort of blow drying and straightening their after each wash.”

“Our daughters journey from babies to toddlers is everything we could wish for at Abbotswood. The staff are caring, passionate and have such a fantastic bond with our little one. They are always working to find new ways to engage and develop the children through play and activities and have the most incredible setting. We love the focus on being outdoors and allowing them to explore and use their imagination in a safe and loving environment. Thank you all Abbotswood staff for your hard work! ❤️”

“We cannot recommend Jamie enough, we booked the 2 hour show for my son’s 5th birthday, my son Henry and his friends are still talking about the show after a couple of months. Jamie is not only an amazing entertainer, he is a genuinely nice guy who loves kids. His show is next level with magic, games and comedy. I have seen many other entertainers at kids party and none compare to what Jamie does in the show but also his interaction with the adults, the adults normally are in the background talking with other parents or not watching the show. All the parents were glued to watching Jamie and participating in the actual show which the kids also loved to see their parents in the show. It was our first party hosting for our son and there is so much to do and organise which is why I recommend the 2 hour show cause Jamie literally does everything for you and takes so much stress and things to do off your list. You still have loads to do haha but having Jamie is a massive help. Jamie thank you again from the bottom of our hearts and so sorry it took a while to write the review.”

“Always busy, great atmosphere. 2 for £13 cocktails all day every day. Staff are polite, crazy busy and really friendly. Always have a good time when we visit.”

“This branch is super. Can’t fault the service you get here. From being knowledgeable about the service you require to the very friendly conversations, it’s a great place to come for all eye care needs. So helpful. I’ve used this branch, more or less since it opened in Romsey. Highly recommended.”

“We absolutely love this little nursery for our Daughter. She started when she was one and she is now moving up to pre-school. All staff are so welcoming and friendly, our daughter is very happy spending time at nursery and has really strong bonds with staff. They listen to any of our daughter’s needs, help in any way possible and our daughter’s development continues to grow every time she attends. We get regular updates and it’s just a really lovely little place and we can’t wait for her sibling to start in the baby room soon!”

“The staff are friendly and knowledgeable and will help you if needed. Good choice of glasses at a good price.”

“Such a lovely time at the New Forest Show. A great family day out, good food, great activities and shows, local produce and local artwork. Helped by lovely sunny weather.”

“Great local community centre - we hired for a friend's leaving party and had everything we needed. Excellent facilities and reasonably priced.”

“It's an old school hall you can rent to do stuff in. Basic but felt pleasingly eighties.”

“Beautiful non league set up... with improvements planned...”

“I would like to take a moment to recognise the outstanding service I received from Monica at the front desk of Hilton Southampton. From the moment I arrived, she couldn’t do enough for me and made me feel genuinely valued as a Diamond member. Her professionalism, warmth, and attention to detail were exceptional, and this is exactly the level of service I expect at this tier—yet Monica still managed to exceed it. She went above and beyond in every interaction, and I was left genuinely speechless by her dedication and care. Monica is a true credit to Hilton and an ambassador for the brand. In my view, she should absolutely be considered for Employee of the Year. Experiences like this are what keep loyal guests coming back.”

“Really good service. Very efficient and professional but also very personable and friendly too. Really pleased with the new glasses and even more happy about the price and the second pair offer!”

“A wonderful pre 1900 former Reading Room building fully restored by the amazing Bishop’s Waltham Men’s Shed members. Now houses a rabbit warren of workshop rooms and still has a reading room facility. Great example of community ownership, care and a very practical workspace.”

“Our family has known the team at Bright Horizons since our eldest started there in 2018. He spent three very happy years there and his development through the wide range of activities that the kids participate in daily was nothing short of astounding. Our second child is currently attending there and his development is progressing the same as his older brother's did. Our youngest starts after the summer. It was difficult back in 2018 to choose a nursery as there were a lot of choices and as new parents we were obviously apprehensive but within a very short space of time we realised we had made the right decision as each and every member of staff are very professional and hard working but also show a very genuine affection and interest in the children's wellbeing. We wouldn't hesitate in recommending Bright Horizons and will always be grateful to them for the peace of mind they gave us and the great care they took (and continue to take) of our children.”

“Very friendly welcome by all staff. The optician explained everything to me about the appointment . Staff also helped me choose 2 pairs of frames which they then made a note of the ones I had chosen onto my records which I will go back to choose which lenses and also my tint for my sunglasses I have chosen from the buy one get one free range.”

“Sahara was very kind and helpful!! My glasses broke when a screw fell out. I walked in to see if they could be fixed (hadn’t even purchased them there) they were fixed and adjusted in 3 mins, all for the great price of no charge! Great customer service. Thankyou Sahara”

“The food was absolutely delicious, and the service made the whole experience even better! Liam was incredibly cheerful, recommended a few dishes (all of which turned out to be amazing), and checked on us often to make sure we had everything we needed. Overall, it was such a great dining experience. Would definitely come back again!”

“Due to an unexpected health issue, I asked if I could bring my appointment forward 1 hour, so I could see an emergency ENT specialist. The staff were more than happy to oblige. All the staff members I encountered were friendly and attentive and the tests were prompt and stress free. Even the dreaded "puff" test. I was reassured that my eye health was good and all that was needed was a new prescription.”

“Easy parking including disabled bays. Wheelchair access. Nice main hall; 2nd Hall is good for meetings. Cracking kitchen facilities. Bright and clean venue.”

“very friendy and aproachable. very thourough in dealing with my query, and spent time dealing and resolving it even though i 'just dropped in' on the off chance they could help.”

“Great Sunday roast here today. It was hot, fresh with loads of flavour, lovely bar staff and Chef was very friendly. Cost £8.00. Will definitely return.”

“My child loves her time at Kindred Odstock Nursery. The staff are amazing, kind and listen. My little one has grown in confidence, learnt so many skills and made friends. The communication from staff is incredible, especially through the use of the app. It's great to see what my child is doing at nursery. 100% recommend Kindred Odstock... 5 Stars ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️”

“I’m not a native English speaker so I wasn’t confident to speak with people around me. I was worried about this. However, Marie is doing great things to help me improve my English speaking, reading and writing skills. She is a fantastic and very talented tutor. I definitely enjoy my online lessons twice a week with a friendly and supportive teacher who gives me useful advice and tips for dealing with specific English expressions. It’s funny, but I’ve never had a lot of them in my vocabulary. She always knows how to explain whatever I need for better understanding. I’m absolutely relaxed and comfortable during my lessons. I very much appreciate that I have helpful classes with such a lovely person as Marie.”

“After looking at a number of nurseries for our daughter Futurepath's nursery at West Wellow stood out from the crowd and we have been very happy (or should that be our daughter) with the experience. It is incredibly well run, with a team of friendly, professional and dedicated staff who we are more than happy to entrust these early years of our daughter development to and we truly couldn't ask for anymore.”
